🎁 The Big Give Christmas Challenge has once again proven to be a phenomenal week of fundraising. To each of you who have so kindly donated to our 2024 Porridge Clubs appeal, we're sending you the biggest THANK YOU. We're slightly overwhelmed and beyond grateful for your support.

🎁 In total, you've raised £14,164 plus Gift Aid and exceeded our £13,500 target for our most successful Big Give Christmas Challenge ever. This consisted of £7,414 from 86 donations during the Big Give Christmas Challenge week which unlocked £6,750 of match funding.

🎁 The funds raised will be enough for our partner, Watoto Kwanza, to provide 157,378 mugs of porridge to Kenyan schoolchildren through their Porridge Clubs programme. What an extraordinary impact! These mugs of porridge will improve school attendance which, in turn, ensures children have a better chance to gain skills, confidence and qualifications to improve their lives.

🎁 Last but by no means least, we're extending our thanks to our pledger and The Coles-Medlock Foundation for generously contributing to our match fund pot, and of course to the team at Big Give for facilitating the past 7 days and all the efforts and preparation that go into making it such a success.

Thank you once again for your kindness. Will we see you at the same time, next year?!
